Ready for a weekend of connection, creativity, and community? The Pause Retreat is back, and this year we’re diving deep into the theme of “Belonging.”

Imagine three days filled with laughter, learning, and genuine connections. This is a day retreat in Natick, MA. We will go home each night. We’re creating a space where you can set aside the hustle of daily life and rediscover what it means to truly belong – to yourself and to others.

What’s in store for you:

– Heartfelt conversations that go beyond small talk
– A vibrant Bollywood dance class to get your body moving
– Expressive art workshops to unleash your creativity
– Nourishing group meals with new friends
– Gentle yoga sessions to ground and center yourself
– A beginners’ drum circle (no experience needed!)
– A peaceful nature walk to connect with the world around us
– Workshops on deepening connections and fostering belonging
– Small group sessions for authentic sharing
– And so much more!

We’ve designed this retreat to offer something for everyone. Whether you’re an extrovert who thrives in group settings or an introvert who prefers quieter connections, you’ll find your place here.

The best part? The connections don’t end when the retreat does. You’ll have the chance to join 6 week small groups afterwards, letting you continue to grow and nurture the relationships you’ve started.

Cost: $25 per day or $50 for the whole weekend (This covers meals and supplies. All money goes to support Common Street Spiritual Center)
Your registration gives you access to all events throughout the weekend – mix and match to create your perfect experience.

Can’t wait to see you there!
